In my search for freebies, I found a four mile, full-moon hike which we took last night. It was really pretty neat! We packed a picnic dinner and the GPS to find the park and had a romantic evening! The hike was at Edwin Warner Park, and was easy, a bit steep at the beginning, and on pavement. The full moon did not light up the pathway, as I had expected, since there were such tall, full trees, so part way through we needed the flashlight. It was pretty noisy with all of the cicadas chirping and when it was dark, it was a little erie with the lightening bugs/fireflies flashing us. It was sponsored by Cumberland Transit which we found out, is an outdoor sports store. In the past the most they had for this hike was about 30, with the lowest at 6. Every full moon they go for a hike at night. The turnout this time was much greater than they had expected, with 150 people....age range from a one year old in a stroller up to a couple that looked to be early 70's! Even a few dogs were brought! Since we have not been "walking" since our vacation in CA, it felt good to get out again and walk; and being at night, and a new location, it was awesome fun!
